Quality of product. Review on Craftsvilla

I recently picked this TV off a retail store than thru online channels and here are some of my initial thoughts on the unit.

Why retail store?

First, family needed to offload an old flat screen that was starting to act up and this model was not listed on the exchange offers with any online portal. No point buying a new one at low price if we could not offload the old one with minimum hassles.

Second, the specs and experiences of various models are never clearly listed on any of the online portals - this one or any other. Manufacturers' sites are better but again there is a limitation.

Third, to truly make a clear decision, its not about the specs all the way but the experience of looking and comparing various models side by side - flat vs.curve, HD vs. UHD, etc.

Finally, the retail stores know that they are under siege for ages from online stores and have now started to actually give good customer experience at their stores as compared to a few years back where all details about a product were read verbatim off a brochure from the OEM.

My initial experiences on this model:

Not wall mounted so no need to have the installation team come at their convenience;

Setup took nearly an hour as the Tizen interface was quite different and needs some refinement in the UI;

Does not switch on like a normal unit - takes a couple of extra seconds for the screen to come on after tapping the power toggle;

Not done much on the Tizen apps but looks interesting - again the navigation via the remote needs to be optimized better - maybe a paired mouse might be better if possible;

HD inputs were proper FULL HD unlike some other so called Full HD TVs where multiple HD inputs changed to 720p;

Paired a high-end notebook via Wifi Direct and found a slight lag but much better than running thru cables - will need to test the actual performance if a High Def video were played;

The TV's network even picked the media share off Windows Media Player but no files were seen - maybe I need to spend more time configuring this via the notebook;
